Could you please provide the outputs of the following commands:

python3 -c "import _ssl; print(_ssl.__file__)"

ldd $(python3.10 -c "import _ssl; print(_ssl.__file__)")

strace -e openat python3.10 -c "from urllib.request import urlopen; urlopen('https://www.python.org')"


The outputs look like this on my computer:

$ python3 -c "import _ssl; print(_ssl.__file__)"
/usr/lib64/python3.10/lib-dynload/_ssl.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
